Politickin' With John Brown: Pat Robertson's Most Evil Comments

Visit John Brown's new website and check back each Thursday for a new "Politickin With John Brown" post.

Televangelist shock-jock, Pat Robertson, added a new notch to his belt of offensive statements this week when he claimed that the devastating earthquake in Haiti was a result of the country's "pact to the devil". What the hell?! As the founder of America's infamous Christian Coalition, Robertson has a staggering record of outrageous commentary that is almost comedic if it didn't involve human tragedies. It's surprising that such a bat-shit crazy bible beater is regarded as relevant enough to even warrant responses from Ambassadors and major media outlets. But he does.

Similar to his talk-show counterpart, Rush Limbaugh , Pat has made a long career on incendiary hate mongering that somehow finds a dedicated audience. To get an idea of the man who Republicans still repeatedly seek endorsements from, here's a rundown of his wall of shame...

Says US Constitution Is For Christians Only, 1981
The majority of Robertson's disturbing remarks occur on his TV show, The 700 Club - founded in 1963 and aired worldwide with one million viewers daily in America alone. Soon after Reagan's election, Robertson explained to his audience that non-Christians threaten American society: "The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by the Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of non-Christian people and atheistic people they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening." God help us.

Claims Feminism Encourages Killing Children, 1992
In a fundraising letter to supporters, the former GOP candidate spews almost laughable accusations towards the feminist movement:Â "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." Someone needs to get laid.

Warns Orlando Of Meteor Attacks After Gay Pride Festival, 1998
A long-time gay basher, Self-Righteous Robertson reacts to Orlando's Gay Days Festival by threatening retaliation via God. Speaking to his base of anti-tolerance, Pat makes a prediction:Â "If the widespread practice of homosexuality will bring about the destruction of your nation..it'll bring about earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor". No reports of meteors at press time.Â

Calls For TheÂ AssassinationÂ Of Hugo Chavez, August 2005
Acting as a goodÂ ChristianÂ imperialist, Rambo Robertson urges the assassination of Venezuela's President, mainly Â because Chavez already thinks America has it out for him. Whoa. Notice how Robertson's main rational is financial: "it's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war". So much for human life. Â

Links Hurricane Katrina To Legalized Abortion, September 2005
Rather than offering "compassionate conservatism" to the victims of Katrina, Robertson chastises America. Like a sick madman, he uses the hurricane's devastation as evidence that God has retaliated for legalized abortion: "the land will vomit you out". *Barf*

Compares Homosexuality To Pedophilia, October 2006Â
After the Republican creep, Mark Foley, was exposed for trying to seduce teenage male pages, Robertson offered the GOP advice for dealing with the political fallout. Rather than make a big deal out of the situation, the preacher saw this as another opportunity for the right wing to bash gays: "Just sayÂ well, this man's gay; he does what gay people do and so don't worry about it." What, me worry?

Claims Non-Christians Worship Demonic Powers, November 2006
Responding to a viewer's question regarding religious tolerance, Pat The Extremist had a simple answer: "There is the god of the Bible, who is Jehovah...He isÂ theÂ God of all Gods.Â These others are mostly demonic powers. Sure they're demons.Â Â There are many demons in the world." Good lord.Â

Worries That Hate Crime Bill Protects Beastiality, April 2009
In another case where disregard for humanity meets insanity, Robertson scoffs at new Hate Crime legislation. Concerned that the bill goes too far, the man of God asks if the bill protects someone who "likes to have sex with ducks". What a quack.Â

Blames Haiti's Earthquake On Their "Pact To The Devil" January 2010
Like an emotionally detached sociopath, Robertson delivered one of his most outrageously disturbing charges towards the people of Haiti. With thousands of bodies dead in the streets and rescue teams desperately trying to find survivors, the evil televangelist goes for blood. Rambling about Napoleon and Haiti's history of resistance to slavery, Robertson claims that the Haitian people are eternally cursed for making a deal with the devil. Man, STFU. As for Robertson, there's a special place in Hell reserved for him. Â Â
